Hi everyone! I am squeaking this card in just under the wire for the pretty As You See It sketch:
This one uses a Papertrey set called What The Doodle Feather:
At the stamp show on Saturday, I had seen a similar feather colored in gorgeous peacock hues--blues and greens---so I couldn't wait to get home and do something along those lines. I heat-embossed my image in black embossing powder, then painted in the areas with Mint Macaron, Garden Green, Pacific Point, Marina Mist and Soft Sky. Then I stamped the smaller feather around the background with Versamark ink. For the sentiment, I stamped the "Hello" (same set) in white ink on a vellum banner and embossed it with white embossing powder:
I added a little white cording, tied in a bow and some pretty sequins and mounted it on a Bermuda Bay card that was embossing with the Elegant Dots EF. So elegant!
On Sunday I had a chance to see a couple of my cousins on my mom's side; I don't get to see many of them so it was nice to catch up! My cousin Cindy, in the center, is one of the best cooks I know...she had a Candyland-themed birthday party for her granddaughter that was so cute! And I am sure I gained a few pounds with the spread she had laid out! And Pat, on the right, is a marvel seamstress....she made me a little Jingle Jack clown doll from fabric yoyos when I was born and I still have it! It's a little ragged, but it still jingles! And she was just a little thing when she made it! I think our Nan Barber passed down all her crafty genes to us! Thanks Nan!

So lovely, Leanne! I love those little versamarked background feathers around the main element. The colours are just wonderful and contrast so well with the kraft/crumb you've used. Thanks so much for joining us again at As You See It. It's always a great pleasure to see your work.
Ooo that is lovely LeAnne - I love the line detail of your feather stamp, perfect for colouring. So pretty against the embossed base too. Lovely photo - you clearly come from a family of many talents - some good creative genes there for sure!
I always enjoy your pics, short little stories AND your cards. I learn about so many different challenge sites from you. Thank you for the time you take to do all this.
I just love your beautifully colored card, LeAnne! That feather just pops off the card and I do love the bright colors and the embossed card base! VERY elegant! Great family photo, too! You definitely come from a family that's quite crafty! :)
What a beautiful feather on this card. I love the colors! I love the photo too, and enjoyed hearing about the handmade keepsake you kept through the years. I'm a sentimental fool too and treasure those hand-made items I've been given through throughout my life. They're heartfelt and genuine keepsakes!
What a pretty card! I love how you colored the feather like a peacock.
I love that feather, what a pretty card LeAnne! It's always fun catching up with family. What a great photo of you pretty ladies!
